  abstract = {{A}edes aegypti ({L}inn{\'e}, 1762) is a major vector of arboviruses such as {Y}ellow {F}ever, {D}engue and {C}hikungunya. {I}n {A}frica, where the species exhibits major variations in morphology, ecology, behavior and vector competence, two subspecies have been described: a light form, named {A}e. aegypti aegypti ({A}aa) with highly domestic and anthropophilic habits and a cosmotropical distribution; and a dark form, referred to as {A}e. aegypti formosus ({A}af), which is endemic to {A}frica and thrives in sylvan environments. {I}n {E}ast {A}frica, both forms were described to occur in sympatry whereas only {A}af was reported from {C}entral/{W}est {A}frica. {H}owever, recent findings suggest {A}aa was also common in {S}enegal. {H}ere, we report on a longitudinal survey of morphological and genetic variability of {A}e. aegypti sampled in the rural environment of {N}iakhar, {S}enegal. {I}n agreement with recent findings, most of specimens we analyzed were classified as {A}aa suggesting typical {A}af was scarce in the studied area. {A}mong {A}aa, significant temporal variations in abdominal pale scales pattern were detected. {D}epending on the season and the nature of larval breeding places, the specimens (particularly females) tend to segregate in two main morphological groups. {M}icrosatellite-based estimates of genetic differentiation did not provide any clear evidence that the two groups were genetically distinct. {O}verall, these results improve our understanding of the diversity of {A}e. aegypti in {W}est {A}frica, where data are crucially lacking.},
